Collector Configuration Files
Last updated on 10 December, 2024You can control the behavior of LogicMonitor Collectors using configuration files. The agent.conf configuration file is located in the Collector’s installation directory in the following default file path:
- Linux: /usr/local/logicmonitor/agent/conf
- Windows: C:\Program Files\LogicMonitor\Agent\conf
You can view and update the settings in the agent.conf on a per-collector basis in the LogicMonitor user interface.
Note: In addition to the agent.conf file, collector also supports the agent.conf.local configuration file to configure collector settings. The agent.conf.local is located at the same default path given above. The configurations set in the agent.conf.local file take precedence over the configurations set in the agent.conf settings. Thus, you can configure settings such as debug.disable=false and remotesession.disable=true in the agent.conf.local file and ensure that these settings cannot be changed on the LogicMonitor user interface via the agent.conf file. Therefore, modifying the agent.conf.local configuration file incurs risk and must be done with caution.
The user who has access to the machine on which the collector is installed can access and update the agent.conf.local file.
